so the red sox are celebrating and lewis hamilton is still celebrating after becoming only the third ne world titles. those involved in f1 have been reflecting on hamilton's achievement — and asking whether he can now go on to beat michael schumacher‘s record of 7. joe lynskey‘s been looking at the best of the reaction. well, lewis hamilton now ranks alongside a true icon of formula 0ne, alongside a true icon of formula one, the argentinian who won his fifth world title at the age of a6, in the late 1950s. his contemporary stirling moss caught in the maestro. hamilton calls in the godfather. his record lasted for four decades. hamilton calls in the godfather. his record lasted forfour decades. no deals 15 world titles before michael schumacher matted in 2002. he then went on to win a six and seventh world title. hamilton becomes the burdyga to number five. world title. hamilton becomes the burdyga to numberfive. yaroomba he w011 burdyga to numberfive. yaroomba he won his first back in 2008 as a 23—year—old —— you remember. it was the second full season as a professional driver. at the

at the moment, lewis hamilton looks a pretty certain bet to be on pole position.re is a typhoon in the area. we were expecting friday to be a total wash—out. it hasn't happened, so when it comes to saturday. will the weather affect qualifying? is lewis hamilton able to be rattled at all as we career towards the end of this championship? at this current rate, with the points as they are, lewis hamilton could tie this up in two races‘ time in mexico. could he do it sooner? we will have to wait and see, but whatever happens, vettel needs to attack and he needs to attack this weekend. jenny reporting for us. on to moto gp, and there was a huge crash at the first—ever thailand grand prix. jorge lorenzo was spectacularly thrown off in the second session. somehow escaping with just bruises. the three—time world champion has been declared fit to race but says he may sit this one out. his ducati team—mate, andrea dovizioso, was fastest in buriram, while championship leader marc marquez was fourth. the british number one tennis player kyle edmund is through to the semi fina

i'm excited that a british driver, lewis hamilton, has had the opportunity with mercedes and i think ampionships was the easy part for lewis. the next pa rt was the easy part for lewis. the next part now is to do it next year, which i believe can be a six and then hopefully a seventh. well, hamilton may have the talent, but the other question is whether f1 is still his priority. sirjackie stewart told the bbc last week he can see the briton getting burnt out and focussing more on his interests in the music and fashion industry. the other issue that may face hamilton going forward is the opposition coming through. max verstappen won the mexican grand prix this weekend, and even at 21 years old, he's already been on the f1 circuit for four years. he's one of a number of new drivers who could start to challenge. next year is going to be hard. ferrari have got a new driver coming in and another new one coming into red bull and also max verstappen, who won the race yesterday, he is phenomenally quick as well, so the rivals to keep coming for lewis hamilton. he is 33 and will be 3a in janua

lewis hamilton has indeed won his fifth formula one world title.sn't all that simple either, but, asjohn watson reports, another championship puts the british driver in elite company. lewis hamilton, five—time world champion and this, an all—too—familiar feeling. champion and this, an all—too—familiarfeeling. his champion and this, an all—too—familiar feeling. his intent to get there was clear from the start. an incredible start! a seventh place finish or above was all he needed. he was up to second by after a quarter. nothing more than a by after a quarter. nothing more thana win by after a quarter. nothing more than a win would do. passing hamilton, sebastian vettel kept his own slim hopes alive. and i'd finish last year was enough to win hamilton a fourth title. this year, too, would be far from straightforward. tyre problems that saw him drop back. his nine wins this season giving him an significant advantage and breathing space. max verstappen must —— might have crossed the line first but all eyes were in hamilton, coming in fourth. the intent

high fives for lewis hamilton, 5—time champion of the world. hamilton cements his position as one of the greatest drivers of all time. good evening. leicester city football club tonight confirmed that its owner was killed in last night's helicopter crash outside the club's stadium. vichai srivaddhanaprabha's investment in the club since he bought it eight years ago helped it win the premier league in 2016, an extraordinary tale of an outsider seizing the crown. tonight many tributes have been left at the stadium, for the three passengers and two crew who were on board the helicopter. our sports editor dan roan is at the stadium. in the last few moments leicester city have sadly confirmed the news that all their fans had expected and feared. the news that the club's chairman and owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha along with four others who were in that helicopter that crashed last night, have died. there were no survivors. it caps a dreadful 2a hours for this club. tributes and tears outside the king power stadium in leicester today as the club and

lewis hamilton only needs five points to win a fifth formula one world title.translates in mexico this evening to seventh place. so in starting third on the grid at the mexico grand prix he'd expect to succeed — and he made a fantastic start to the race. he quickly leapt in front of the red bull of pole—sitter daniel ricciardo into second place — max verstappen, the other red bull, managed to sneak into the lead going into the opening corner. hamilton couldn't quite get in front of the dutch driver, and he's slipped down to fourth place. he only needs to finish in seventh position to guarantee himself a fifth world title. you can follow that on the bbc sport website and on bbc radio five live. sporting events across the country have been marking the helicopter crash outside leicester's king power stadium. three premier league fixtures all reflected on the incident that happened at around 8:30 last night. with leicester owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha thought to be on board at the time. manchester united's match against everton jointly marked it along with rememb

thank you forjoining us this morning when lewis hamilton could wina morning when lewis hamilton couldnto turn one ahead of the pack. as long as there is not a torpedo coming on the inside you take him out, one would assume with the pace on qualifying, his record at the circuit of americans, it's his world championship to walk away from this afternoon. this would be a faith which puts him injoint third on the list of all—time greats. in terms of statistics, anyway. in terms of his talent, what he has achieved at his age, where do you think he is in ability in terms of the all—time greats? where does he measure up with senna and michael schumacher as an athlete, as a driver, what do you make of that? first of all this is a racing machine. he's basically been racing machine. he's basically been racing all his adult life and most of his adolescent life. he is continuing to break records, he is clearly the most successful british grand prix driver in history with four world championships and a faith almost in his hands this afternoon. he can look forward to challenging the seventh world ch

it could go so badly wrong for mercedes this weekend for lewis hamilton not to be crowned champion. he podium and win the race. if sebastien freckle doesn't win, it's a lot of permutations. it's pretty much all groups that hamilton that lead to this title. he said at the start of the year, i don't know if it was mind games, but he said that ferrari's challenge would be stronger than he expected mercedes to be. why hasn't that happened? stronger than he expected mercedes to be. why hasn't that happened7m a way, it has. ferrari came out with the strongest card at the beginning of the season. they haven't done that for years. they had the fastest car, but they haven't maximise their chances and opportunities with that vehicle, so lewis hamilton looked at things, mercedes looked at things, and they have come out on top. since some ferrari haven't been the fastest car, but they have been worthy opponents. and they will chase hamilton, he. for now, thank you very much indeed. enjoy the weekend. jennie and the team have full coverage of the weekend from mexico city from tonight's second pra

the brain specialist is lewis hamilton.ally dominant display. when you look for the context of the championship, if sebastien doesn't win, he has championed. red bill for the track would suit them. they have got the equipment. they got high altitude. all of it comes together and it means that the engine deficit is lessened here. so it has come together perfectly. rebel will strea k together perfectly. rebel will streak ahead. rebel were saying that next on saturday it is going to be closer,. lewis hamilton was to deliver a knockout punch and get pole position, we will see if he can do it. there are six matches back home in the premier league today. liverpool could go top of the table if they beat cardiff city. newcastle and huddersfield are looking for their first wins of the season.

it's not looking good for lewis hamilton. look at the start, here we are on board with kimi raikkonen. ferrari had a plan for this start. they had the finishing on faster tiles and he managed to make it into the first corner crucially of hamilton to take control of the race. his boss was absolutely delighted with this. there's the reaction but it turned soui’ soon there's the reaction but it turned sour soon after. this is sebastian vettel trying to take fourth place from daniel ricardo, he spun. that's happened several times to him this season happened several times to him this season and it looked like he'd thrown it all away. he went to last but one and it looked like he was all overfor him, but he's but one and it looked like he was all over for him, but he's fighting back like crazy now. he's managed to move up to fifth place and hamilton is now down in third, and that's because danyl is now down in third, and that's because da nyl ricardo is now down in third, and that's because danyl ricardo had an incident which broug

lewis hamilton took a big step towards what would be a fifth world championship after winning the russiant the brit got a big helping hand from his mercedes hierarchy. hamilton benefited from team orders allowing him past valtteri bottas as he extended his lead in the standings to 50 points over sebastian vettel. nick parrott was watching. commiserations rather than celebrations were the order of the day in sochi. lewis hamilton trying to consult valtteri bottas for giving upa to consult valtteri bottas for giving up a victory that should have been his. it has been called britain's wingmen this season and even starting from pole, he helped him, moving his caraway even starting from pole, he helped him, moving his car away from sebastian vettel to give his mercedes team that —— thiem the benefit of his slipstream. this kept him ahead of his title rival but only until the pitstop. his miscalculation saw him return behind the ferrari but he wasn't there for long as he effectively retook second place, taking the victory would prove more controversial. commentator: lewis to turn 13. we had a r

in the last few minutes lewis hamilton has made history and won his fifth formula one world title after has finished in fourth place. his title rival sebastian vettell was second whilst the race was won by red bull‘s max verstappen who managed to overtake pole—sitter daniel ricciardo on the opening lap. we‘ll have much more reaction in the next hour. in tennis, the wta finals has a new champion after elina svitolina beat sloane stephens in a gruelling three set match in singapore. the ukrainian came from a set down to win 3—6, 6—2, 6—2. claire thornton has the details. elina svitolina plopped onto court playing for her fourth title of the season. playing for her fourth title of the season. but winning the wta finals in singapore would be the biggest of her career. the ukrainian went into sunday‘s final against sloane stephens undefeated in the eight player season finale but it was her american opponent who started the stronger, taking the first set 5—3. now under pressure, svitolina began to read in the form she is displayed throughout this tournament, which had helped her to dismiss am

but lewis hamilton's latest title was perhaps his most emotional.andfather, this was pride at its most poignant. to get this fifth i think is, yeah, just a testament just to my family. because they believed in me from day one. i will continue to drive with them at my core and hopefully today my grandad is looking down, proud of what we have achieved as a family. and five titles is some feat. it takes him level with the 19505 legend juan manuel fangio, only michael schumacher with seven titles has more. but for how much longer? hamilton's journey, which began here at the kart track near his childhood home in stevenage, is still farfrom over. well, lewis hamilton was just eight years old when his dad first brought him here. but could the kid who whizzed round this very track now go on to become the most successful driver in formula 1 history? well, another of britain's most decorated drivers says seven is in hamilton's sights. i did not think i would see it in my lifetime but i think that lewis has an amazing opportunity. i believe lewis can go all th

lewis hamilton, five—time world champion and this, an all—too—familiar feeling. o get there was clear from the start. commentator: hamilton makes an incredible start! a seventh place finish or above was all he needed. he was up from third to second at the first corner. for title rival sebastian vettel nothing more than a win would do. passing hamilton, he kept his own slim hopes alive. a ninth—place finish here last year was enough to win hamilton a fourth title. this year, too, would be far from straightforward. tyre problems saw him drop back. but the hard work had been done before this race, his nine wins this season giving him an significant points advantage and breathing space. max verstappen might have crossed the line first but all eyes were on hamilton, coming home in fourth. that intense lewis hamilton focus on being quicker, whatever the vehicle, has always been there. through his boyhood, through karting, he has been unstoppable, doing it his way. after eight gruelling months of racing, time to stop and reflect on his place among the greats. it wasn't o

at the moment, lewis hamilton looks as sure bet to be on pole position.o when it comes to saturday will the weather affect qualifying? is lewis hamilton able to be rattled that all as we careered towards the end of this championship? at this current rate, with the points as they are, lewis hamilton could tie this up into races time in mexico. could he do it sooner? we will have to wait and see but whatever happens, vettel needs to attack and he needs to attack this weekend. finally, love him or hate him you can‘t ignore him. in the early hours of sunday morning, connor mcgregor returns to the octagon after a two—year absence from ufc. the irishman takes on khabib nurmagomedov in part of ufc 229 in las vegas. we can go live to vegas now and speak to former ufc fighter dan hardy, who‘s part of the bbc radio 5live commentry team this weekend. is he still king of ufc? tell us why this fight is interesting. is he still king of ufc? tell us why this fight is interestinglj absolutely think he the king of the ufc. the press conference was massively controlled by

but for lewis hamilton the emotion was plain to see., but just days after the the highest echelons of his sport, butjust days after the death of his grandfather it was particularly poignant. my dad always tried to make his dad proud and i tried to make his dad proud and i tried to make my dad proud, so to get this fifth is... just a testament to my family because they believed in me from day one. you see all these families who do believe in their kids and it does not work out, but for as it kids and it does not work out, but foras it did. kids and it does not work out, but for as it did. i will continue to drive with them at my core and my grandad and hopefully today he is looking down, proud of what we have achieved as a family. it is the proudest of feats. his fifth title taking him level with a great wine mangel fangio. only michael schumacher with seven titles has more, but his record could be under threat. absolutely fantastic, five world champions. if there is any doubters out there, i believe lewis can go all the way an equal mic
